                             Playing The Part 








Vamp on A chord for intro

V1

A                                         E
Taking a dip, on the sunset strip, in the mornin'.  Ain't nothin like the 
                               A
smell of tofue and high dollar wine
                                              D
Except maybe all them cars lockin down the  I-5.
      A                                         E                    A
But I find it amazin, these rats I been chasin, helpin me remember a time.


Chorus

         D                             A                          E   
When the only L A I knew was the lower alabama.  Back when me an' Hannah, 
                          A
was wishing on a southern star.  
         D                                                             A
Now it's so complicated. I really hated.  Why'd I ever wanna to go so far?  
                                                     E
Taking depression pills, in the hollywood hills, and actin' like I'm 
          A
plaiyn' a part.

   
V2
                                                     E
All this grippin and grinning.  Losin and winnin.  And runnin.  
                                             A
And promises break like an egg on the hot asphault.
                                                         D       
What the heck was thinkin'.  Drinkin' like I'd never get caught.  
      A                                                   E
These high dollar women.  And the fame and the fortune.  Ain't worth the 
         A
ticket I bought.  

Chorus

         D                              A                     E    
When the only L A I knew was the lower alabama.  Back when me an' Hannah, 
                           A               D
was wishing on a southern star.  Now it's so complicated. I really hated.  
                             A
Why'd I ever wanna to go so far?  Taking depression pills, in the hollywood 
            E                         A
hills, and actin' like I'm plaiyn' a part. 
                                                    E
Taking Depression pills in the hollywood hills, and actin' like I'm 
         A

INTRO: A

A                                       E
Taking a dip on the sunset strip in the mornin'
                                                     A
Ain't nothing like the smell of tofu and high dollar wine
                                                   D
They said maybe all of them cars locking down the I-5
       A                                                E                      A
Yeah I find it amazing these rats I've been chasing are helping me remember a time

CHORUS:
         D                           A
When the only LA I knew was lower Alabama
                 E                                 A
Back when me and Hannah were wishing on a southern star
         D                                        A                  D
Now its so complicated, I really hate it, why'd I ever want to go so far
         A
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
E                           A
Acting like I'm playing the part

All this gripping and grinning, losing and winning, and running
Promises break like an egg on the hot asphalt
What the hell was I thinking, drinking like I'd never get caught
These high dollar women, and the fame and the fortune, ain't worth the ticket I bought

CHORUS

       A
Taking depression pills in the Hollywood Hills
E                            A
Acting like I'm playing the part
